1/ Few want to say it out loud because it’s terrifying, but the fact is that we’re teetering on the verge of a Depression. Some would say we’ve entered one already. That’s why there are those who want people to go back to work no matter what.

2/ Instead of suggesting that people die in order for us to avoid a Depression, we should do with others have done to bring us out of one. The government right now can start creating jobs that people could do from home. We need an at-home version of FDR’s WPA public works program

3/ From scientists to computer techs to mechanics to architects to environmental experts to artists to engineers to inventors, there’s an endless number of jobs people could be doing from home right now that would add immeasurably to our new beginnings on the other side of this.

4/ Today’s politicians extraordinarily entrenched within a system that simply does things the way it has always done them. The lack of imagination in DC is stunning, yet an unimaginable catastrophe demands we imagine new solutions. Oldthink is the problem; newthink is the Answer

Seriously? There's already a flood of people who do those things online (except mechanic). And the ones that don't do them need training, and then there's the issue of monetization after they're trianed. This is the equivalent of the learn to code statement from 2015.

You're so right @marwilliamson. Like #PPEshortage & #testing we have to figure it out for ourselves. My wife teaches quality #Dance #classes in a 5' × 5' space with limited technology & her students are loving them.
